WILL THE DEMOCRAT PARTY SURVIVE?

The Democrat party has always been the party of death, slavery and repression that can be traced to its formation in 1828 but it's progression towards Communism can be traced back to Woodrow Wilson. Besides being a virulent racist he was the first president to espouse the damnable lie that the Constitution had outlived it's usefulness. In other words it was a living document that was not supposed to be taken literally. Of course if the Constitution was something that could only be interpreted by the anointed educated elites on the left like Wilson that meant that they could enact law out of thin air. The ends always justify the means to accomplish whatever perverted goal that the left sets out to accomplish. This allowed for the abolition of common sense which is the greatest defense against Communism and Fascism.
Franklin Roosevelt, a protege of Woodrow Wilson was able to exploit the crisis of the depression to move us further down the road toward Communism. Don't forget the words of Rahm Emmanuel. Never let a crisis go to waste. Fast forward to Lyndon Johnson, a protege of Roosevelt. He tried to outdo his hero FDR by initiating the social welfare programs of The Great Society which helped to decimate the American family, especially the black family. Johnson also expanded the Vietnam war which led to the growth of the Communist counterculture movement in America. The Communist goal was changing from not only a Marxist economic war on capitalism to a cultural war on capitalism as espoused by Antonio Gramsci and also the Frankfort school. The war in Vietnam would not be lost on the battlefields in Vietnam but on the streets of America. These radical cultural Communists made their move to take over the Democrat party at the Democrat convention in August 1968 which failed miserably thwarted by the corrupt Democrat Chicago mayor Richard Daly.
In August 1968 I was in Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB Texas and I was not very concerned with what was happening in far away Chicago. As a traditional Democrat I knew nothing about a potential Communist takeover of the Democrat party. I just knew that I didn't like the anti American tone of the Vietnam war protesters. Like most Americans I favored our involvement in the war but I just didn't like our strategy for fighting it. It made no sense. The Communist Saul Alinsky talks about the Chicago convention in his book Rules For Radicals. Alinsky was a guy who began his book by admiring satan's rebellion in heaven calling him the first radical. "Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer. —"
After the failure of the young Communist radicals to take over the Democrat party during the convention they were a depressed group. Alinsky presented three options for them going forward. They could all just have a big pity party and give up. Second, they could have a violent revolution and all be killed or imprisoned. Or they could all take a bath, cut their hair, put on a business suit, put on a tie, or a nice dress and blend in with the establishment. They should stay radical but infiltrate from within the establishment. I am paraphrasing but this was the basic plan. This strategy worked so well that by 1972 they were firmly entrenched in the party. They ran the far left candidate George McGovern who was defeated by Richard Nixon in one of the largest landslides in American history.
Since the Communist infiltration of the Democrat party they have continued to slide further and further to the left. Their presidential candidates since Jimmy Carter have done a pretty good job of trying to pass themselves off as moderates but once they are in they govern as leftists. Bill Clinton was the best at this. As a Southern Democrat from the conservative Southern state of Arkansas he was good at passing himself off as a moderate. He and his wife Hillary learned their lesson the hard way. Bill Clinton won the office of governor in 1978. He wore his hair long and surrounded himself with staff that appeared to be too radical for the average Arkansan. Hillary came across as a radical feminist. She didn't wear makeup, wore headbands and thick glasses. I remember reading somewhere that Hillary had horrible body odor that meshed well with her radical feminist look. She also refused to take Clinton's last name and went by Hillary Rodham. These things were not good optics in a state like Arkansas. After only two years in office Bill Clinton was defeated by Republican Frank White in 1980. This defeat was a reality check for Bill and Hillary. They were shaken to their core by the loss.
The governors office was supposed to be Bill Clinton's path to the White House and Hillary's political future was closely linked to the success of her husband. They both went through a transformation in the two years that they were out of office. Bill and Hillary were staging a comeback in 1982. At that time Arkansas governors only served two year terms. Both changed their appearance over the next two years. They began attending a large church in Little Rock which televised Sunday morning services. Bill positioned himself in the choir where the cameras had a good angle on him every Sunday and he was always seen leaving the church carrying his Bible. Hillary discarded the head bands, put on makeup, bought contacts and began using her husbands last name. His reelection campaign in 1982 was much more moderate in tone. Bill would defeat Frank White and he never lost another election after regaining the governors office. In 1992 he was elected president and would serve two terms.
Hillary was a disciple of Saul Alinsky. The subject of her college dissertation in 1969 was Saul Alinsky. She named it "There Is Only The Fight" She also knew him personally. They had a disagreement on the application for Rules for Radicals. Hillary wanted to apply them to government and Alinsky opposed that as a tactic.When the Clintons took over the White House they moved hard left. During the campaign both had promised that they were a package deal. She would be co-president. Her Hillary care program was much like Obamacare and like Obamacare it was very unpopular with the American people. Hillary's usual arrogance in trying to get it passed was a disaster and her plan failed. Bill had promised a middle class tax cut during the campaign but reneged on his promise shortly after becoming president. This obvious shift to the left was unpopular with the American people, As a result the voters had buyers remorse and displayed their displeasure in the 1994 congressional midterm elections. By an overwhelming margin Republican's won back both houses of Congress.
For the first time ever Republicans were preferred over Democrats in the South and it became the predominant political party. Unlike most leftist Democrats Clinton had a fine tuned survival instinct. He began to support criminal reform and signed a broad sweeping welfare reform act passed by the Republican's. His move back to the right insured his reelection in 1996 against Republican Bob Dole. Another thing that helped Clinton was that he had the good sense not to tamper with the Reagan economic boom that he had inherited. In the 80's and 90's our economy was booming and a good economy generally always is good for the president that is in office. Clinton had taken advantage of a slight economic downturn in George H.W. Bush's term which helped him to defeat Bush. That and the fact that Bush had reneged on his "Read my lips, no new taxes pledge".
Obama and Biden both campaigned as moderates and so-called unifiers but their left wing policies were very unpopular. Obama was horrible for race relations and he and Biden weaponized the justice department, the FBI, CIA, IRS and other Federal agencies. Obama and Biden conducted lawfare against Trump's first administration and Trump as a private citizen. It was Obama's left wing policies that created a first Trump presidency and Biden's disastrous policies that created a second Trump presidency.
Where do the Democrats go from here? Luckily for our side they seem to be doubling down on the failed Biden positions of the past. If they continue down this path they risk ceasing to exist as a political party. Actually someone like a Bill Clinton is more worrisome to me. Politicians like Bill Clinton have the talent of deception. They are like chameleons who say what people want to hear in order to get elected but once in office they govern like a true leftist. We have many Republicans like this. They are following the Alinsky model. Be radical on the inside but traditional on the outside. Clinton was pragmatic enough to move to the right in order to survive politically. His survival instincts were stronger than his ideology. He had learned his lesson the hard way in 1980. Clinton had to sign the Republican welfare reform act in order to be reelected in 1996.
Obama was more ideological. He ran as a unifier but after he was elected he divided the country on race, conducted a weak foreign policy and was initially against same sex marriage but eventually came out in favor of it. Obama weaponized our Federal bureaucracy. to go after his political enemies. Biden also campaigned as a unifier and a moderate but he was actually Obama's third term, or Obama's puppet. Trump is president right now because of the Biden regimes radical shift toward Communism. There is a big fight brewing in the Democrat party right now. The question is do they go back to the Saul Alinsky model and camouflage their radicalism in order to be elected or do they double down on the blatant overt radicalism of the last four years and risk the death of their party? So far the momentum seems to be in favor of the latter. If AOC, or someone like her comes out on top of the party for a presidential run in 2028 we could be witnessing the death of the Democrat party within the next decade. And the people said, Amen, goodbye and good riddance.
